And I also Really Dig "Are we Dancing Now?" How it shifts so nicely 
between the propulsive part, and the whispy romantic part. Here we 
have Jane doing her version of the breathy Brazilian bossa mode of singing.

I'd love to hear this song covered by a Brazilian band, with a 
Brazilian singer. And translated into Portuguese? Sure!

Wonderful lyrics, for catching the delirium and romance of 
dancing.... Also the confusion.

BTW, the Brazilians (Jobim et al) learned much of this breathy 
approach from Chet Baker, who sang in that light breathy close-miked 
style since he didn't have a powerful voice. Also from Julie London, 
for similar reasons.

It makes for tremendous intimacy. Jane's sings it as if she's 
whispering into the ear of this person she just might be dancing with.... ??
